Union Minister Kiren Rijiju told an AIMIM leader, who repeated the '15 minutes' threat during a public gathering, to not unnecessarily challenge Hindus. AIMIM's Akbaruddin Owaisi had said 25 crore Muslims could take on 100 crore Hindus if police were removed for 15 minutes. "We are a minority...we should respect the majority Hindus," Rijiju said to the AIMIM leader.
